I dont have as much of a problem with the V8 as I do the exterior styling.

boohooo he put a V8 into an RX-7. Who cares if he put a v8 in HIS car. Maybe he loves the RX-7s looks and wants the RELIABILITY of a v8. Anyways... the cars appearance looks pretty crappy for us city folk but I'm sure this person gets alot of hillbilly *** in that car.

His personal taste, but few others.

All that work & look at the bid price.
He now knows the meaning of "money pit".

So why is he selling?

i don't understand why these people list the mileage of the rebuild as the mileage of the car. I could care less if the engine has 20k on it if most of the rest of the car has 250k worth of wear on it, i wouldn't buy it. anyway personal peeve of mine .

as for the car...lose the red rims, get it a solid color, lose the spoiler and its not bad. the v8 doesn't bother me (unless someone replaces a perfectly running 13b/13bt with one).

A GN motor would've been a much better choice.

I don't have a problem with V8 swaps. If you've ever seen a 2nd gen do a full second gear burn from a dead stop on broad street you'll apreciate it!
As for me, I wonder what he did with the TII motor harness & ECU...
